Reborn in the 80s, starting with hunting in the mountains

"That will happen in the future, let's not talk about it now." The second aunt smiled slightly and changed the topic.

Obviously, it is quite difficult for her to make the decision to leave her hometown.

How to say this.

Ji Yi was too lazy to talk about this topic again.

Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, so let’s talk about some festive topics during the Chinese New Year.

Family reunion.

This year is the first year that Lin Yi has lived since he was reborn, so it is still very meaningful.

And during the Chinese New Year this year, the house is much more lively than in previous lives.

Second aunt, cousin, Yingzi, and Second Master Han will all celebrate the New Year at Lin Yi's house this year.

Although it has only been less than a month since Ji Yi was reborn, earth-shaking changes have already taken place in his family.

He can be regarded as reversing his previous life.

At the same time, it also changed the fate of many people.

After sending Yingzi home, Ji Yi returned to his room and lay on the bed. He also gave himself a year-end summary.

I fell asleep after thinking about it.

Early the next morning, the family starts cleaning, which is called dusting.

Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

It only makes sense to clean on the New Year’s Day.

After the New Year, from the first to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, sweeping the floor is not allowed.

This is the rule of the older generation.

It is said that sweeping the floor will sweep away the family's wealth.

Of course, these are all false.

Young people in later generations don’t believe this much anymore.

If you don't clean your room for half a month, how dirty will it be?

What a shame.

Of course, at this time, every household was doing this.

After Lin Yi had breakfast, he was assigned the task of posting couplets with his brother.

On New Year's Eve, in addition to sweeping the dust, there is one more thing to do, which is to replace the home with New Year's couplets, lanterns, blessing characters, window grilles, etc.

These are traditions that have been handed down for thousands of years.

The last time we went to the market, when Lin Yi and Yingzi went to play in various places, Lin Qingfeng and the others went to buy these.

In addition to their family, there are also couplets from two brothers’ families.

The second brother posted his own couplets before coming over to post the couplets at home.

Posting couplets requires climbing, so two people usually work together.

Lin Yi brought the ladder at home, one person held the ladder, and the other climbed and posted it.

Without glue, most people in this era use rice paste at home.

Flour paste is also used.

Both of these can be used as soil glue.

The viscosity is not low yet.

There is no problem at all if it is used to post couplets or something.

Lin Qingfeng made a large bucket of rice paste early in the morning, because there were still a lot of places to use it.

Couplets from three families or something.

Since he was going to do it, of course he also included pasting the couplets at his two sons' homes.

Ji Yi spread the couplets on the ground, smeared paste on the back, and handed them to his brother.

Let the second brother post it.

This couplet is also very particular.

Maybe many people don't know this anymore and don't care about it, but in the 80s, everyone understood it.

For example, when posting couplets, you must distinguish the upper and lower couplets.

Normally, the last character in the first couplet should be a oblique tone character (the oblique tone is the third and fourth tone in the tone).

The second line is the character Ping Tone (the character Ping Tone is the first and second tone in the tone).

Also, when pasting couplets, if the horizontal scroll is written from left to right, the top couplet should be pasted on the left, otherwise the right couplet should be pasted on the left.

These are all things to pay attention to.

Couplets originated in the Qin Dynasty and were called Taofu in ancient times. The earliest couplets appeared in the Tang Dynasty.

The couplets describe the background of the times with "neat, dual, concise and exquisite" words, and at the same time express people's yearning for a happy life and a bright future.

While posting the couplets, Yingzi also came. Seeing Lin Yi posting the couplets, she quickly came over to help.

The two started chatting, and the topic unconsciously turned to couplets.

In other words, the development history of couplets is actually closely related to Chinese cultural customs.

"Brother Yi, when did the Spring Festival couplets appear?" Yingzi asked Lin Yi curiously.

Anyone else might have been dumbfounded.

Most people know that couplets have existed since ancient times, but they don’t know when they are broken down into various types of couplets.

There are also many types of couplets.

Spring couplets are just one of them. Because they are posted during the Spring Festival, they are called Spring Festival couplets.

In fact, Spring Festival couplets are the earliest peach symbols, used to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

But when did the name Spring Festival Couplets appear? It is generally accepted that it was in the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Yi read a lot of books in his previous life and really knew this.

So I started popularizing science with Yingzi.

The term "Spring Festival Couplets" appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

It is said that it is also related to Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

In terms of birth, Zhu Yuanzhang is relatively legendary among ancient emperors.

He started out as a landlord herding cattle, then made a living by begging and became a monk. It can be said that he became an emperor step by step from the bottom of society.

It is said that Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang loved the excitement and the peach charms posted on every household on New Year's Eve.

With the sound of firecrackers a year old, the spring breeze sent warmth to Tusu.

Thousands of families always exchange new peaches for old ones.

Taizu of the Ming Dynasty thought that happiness alone is not as good as happiness among everyone, so he promoted the posting of couplets throughout the country.

He also personally issued an imperial edict requiring every household to post Spring Festival couplets written on red paper on their door frames to welcome the New Year.

This is the origin of Spring Festival couplets.

Since then, the peach charms have been transformed into Spring Festival couplets with black characters on red paper, which continues to this day.

Yingzi suddenly realized that this was the case.

"Brother Yi, you are so amazing, you know so much." Yingzi said.

The admiration is beyond words.

The Spring Festival couplets of the 80s are also very characteristic of the times.

It is different from those Spring Festival couplets of later generations.

For example, this one in the hands of Lin Yi.

The first couplet: The triumphant song of stability and unity is played; the second couplet: The future of democracy is bright.

Horizontal comment: Thriving.

The Spring Festival couplets at his second brother's house are, the first couplet: The policy of enriching the people warms people's hearts, and the second couplet: The gongs and drums are noisy to celebrate the good year.

Horizontal comment: Joy fills the door.

In addition to these, there are also more common ones, like: the spring breeze of reform blows the earth, and the policy of enriching the people affects China.

Good news spreads from person to person, and new scenery appears everywhere.

Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers add splendor, thousands of years of history write a new chapter, and so on.

The Spring Festival couplets of every era are different.

These words were also thought up by scholars.

Of course, there are also good ones about spring and beautiful sunshine.
As for Spring Festival couplets, there are no rules and regulations. You can post whatever you like.

After posting the couplets, Ji Yi and his second brother hung up the red lanterns.

The New Year atmosphere suddenly became intense.

When my cousin cuts window grilles, he uses scissors to cut out a beautiful pattern from red paper and then sticks it on the window.

Lin Yi's mother Li Xiuhe, her second aunt, and two sisters-in-law started working in the kitchen early in the morning.

New Year's Eve dinner is the most sumptuous meal of the year.

It needs to be burned carefully.

After Lin Yi put up the lanterns, everything was fine, so he took another pair of couplets and lanterns and went to help Yingzi's house put them up.

Yingzi told Lin Yi that there was no need to take it, and she bought it too. (End of chapter)
